The ArtCraft cachet features a detailed brown/sepia ink engraving of Columbus's fleet of sailing ships (the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María) on rough seas, with a small portrait medallion of Columbus and a globe logo at lower left, labeled 'Transportation Day.' Two stamps are affixed: a 29-cent World Columbian Stamp Expo '92 commemorative (orange and blue) and what appears to be a classic U.S. Postage stamp depicting Columbus's landing. The pictorial cancellation is square-framed, showing a jet airplane, ocean liner, and locomotive, reading 'World Columbian Stamp Expo '92 STA / Transportation Day / May 27, 1992 / Chicago, IL 60607.' The cover is in excellent condition with no visible damage.

This First Day Cover features a sepia-toned cachet with detailed artwork of Christopher Columbus's three ships—the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María—sailing on rough seas. The cachet includes a medallion portrait of Columbus and a globe logo, with the text 'Transportation Day' and an ArtCraft logo. The cover bears two stamps: a 29-cent World Columbian Stamp Expo '92 commemorative and a Columbian landing series stamp, both cancelled with a pictorial postmark depicting a jet airplane, ocean liner, and locomotive. The postmark is dated May 27, 1992, from Chicago, IL, and includes the text 'World Columbian's Stamp Expo '92 Station.'
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
